"My subordinate failed to stop the eldest prince and missed His Highness's important event. Please punish me!"
In a hall of the palace, more than a dozen guards from Prince Feng's palace knelt in a row, looking extremely remorseful.
The third prince, Zhao Yi, waved his hand and said, "Get up. If my brother wants to force his way in, you can't stop him."
Qian Caishen stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, although the eldest prince took away the piece of paper, the records on it are extremely simple and cannot be understood by ordinary people. My subordinates can now write a more detailed one."
"This is not the most important thing." Zhao Yi looked out the window with a thoughtful look on his face. After a moment, he said: "Even if this method is effective in punishing corrupt officials, it cannot be done too hastily. It must be done step by step and slowly, otherwise,
I'm afraid it will do more harm than good and involve most of the imperial court. By then, the situation will definitely be out of control."
A look of confusion appeared on Qian Caishen's face, while Yang Yanzhou and Zhao Xiuwen nodded slightly.
Corrupt officials have been around since ancient times, and they are endlessly eliminated and killed. Although the Qi State is powerful, there are so many people who are corrupt, whether it is the central government or local officials. If drastic reforms are carried out, countless people will inevitably be involved.
I don’t know how many heads will fall off my head, causing people to panic and the current situation to be unstable...
This is not their purpose. This method can only be used gently. Once used too hastily, it will inevitably cause extremely serious consequences.
"But the eldest prince has always been eager for quick success and is very happy with great success. He will definitely not treat it lightly this time. Those censors are also stubborn. This time he went to the capital to supervise the various states. With this method, he will be even more powerful...
…”
Zhao Xiuwen paced in the hall and spoke slowly: "He has always regarded Fengzhou as a thorn in his flesh. This time he has bad intentions. He will definitely attack Fengzhou first. Your Highness must be on guard."
Zhao Yi rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand gently. After a moment, he turned to look at Yang Yanzhou and said, "Yanzhou, what do you think?"
Yang Yanzhou pondered for a while and said: "This is a rare opportunity for the eldest prince, and why not for us?"
He raised his head and spoke again: "The eldest prince has always been eager for success, and this time he will definitely use this matter to embarrass His Highness. Fengzhou has been avoided, and the neighboring states may also be affected. Your Highness might as well follow the trend and thoroughly
We will conduct an inventory of Fengzhou, firstly to find out the moths, and secondly, to clean out the people they have installed in Fengzhou over the years."
"In this way, the two parties supervise each other, and no one can interfere with it. The eldest prince can investigate if he wants. His Highness only needs to write a letter to report the matter to the court in its entirety, and ask for credit for the eldest prince..."
Qian Caishen scratched his head, his face became more confused, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Why do you need to ask for credit for the eldest prince? What good will this do to us? What happens after you ask for credit?"
Zhao Xiuwen said: "After asking for merit, His Majesty will definitely praise the eldest prince more. Everyone in the court knows that the eldest prince has a powerful weapon that can make all corrupt officials undetectable. Perhaps the state capitals that have been investigated before will
After checking again, wherever the eldest prince went, the officials were panicked and the people lined the streets to greet him..."
Qian Caishen looked at Zhao Xiuwen, then at Yang Yanzhou, and swallowed secretly.
Doesn't this mean that the eldest prince will offend all the officials in Qi?
When he looked at the two of them again, his eyes had changed a lot.
It seemed that he was right not to let Duoduo take the first prize. He decided that he must keep his son away from these vicious scholars in the future. Compared with these, what are the intrigues in the business world?
"By the way, where did you get this?" Zhao Yi suddenly looked at the God of Money and asked.
The God of Money was startled and said, "I picked it up."
…
…
In a posthouse in Fengzhou City, several censors gathered around a table with their buttocks sticking out, staring at a piece of paper on it for half an hour.
"Do you understand?"
The young man in colorful clothes walked in from outside, looked at them and asked.
A censor lowered his head and said: "Back to your highness, the things recorded on it are messy and without any structure. I really can't understand it..."
The young man in colorful clothes frowned and asked, "No one understands?"
Among these censors, none of them were rich in learning and erudite, but they could not compare with even one of Zhao Yi's subordinates, which made him feel slightly angry.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Go and find out who the fat man was in Prince Feng's Mansion just now."
…
The God of Money walked out of Prince Feng's Mansion with a depressed look on his face. The treasure he dedicated to the third prince was intercepted halfway, so he felt naturally depressed.
However, this person who came out halfway couldn't even afford to offend the Third Prince, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow them.
"Are you the God of Money?"
When he was about to reach the door of Qian Mansion, two people suddenly appeared from one side. Qian Caishen was startled. Seeing the cold expressions on their faces, he looked at them doubtfully and said, "Who are you? What are you doing with my brother?"
?”
The two were stunned for a moment and asked: "The God of Money is your brother?"
"Yes." Qian Caishen nodded and asked, "What do you want from my brother? I'll go in and help you call him out."
After saying that, he walked towards the door of the house.
Just after taking two steps, another figure walked out from the side. He could clearly see that this person was the person who had been following the eldest prince just now.
The man looked at him and said calmly: "The eldest prince invites you to come with me."
Qian Caishen's expression changed and he said, "I wonder what your Highness, the eldest prince, wants to do with the common people?"
The man waved his hand: "You'll know when you get there."
…
"Are you the God of Money?"
The young man in rich clothes looked at the fat man in front of him and asked with a smile.
The God of Money immediately bowed and said: "I don't dare to be the God of Wealth. Qian Duo has met His Highness King Heng. I wonder what His Highness's orders are when he calls the common people here?"
The eldest prince picked up the piece of paper and said, "Did you really create this wonderful method?"
The God of Money raised his head and said, "It's just some little cleverness that won't lead to elegance. Your Highness is ridiculous."
"You don't have to be self-effacing, this is not a little clever thing." The eldest prince smiled and said: "I am worried about how to clean up the country's moths. This method will be of great use to our country of Qi. You should be the first to contribute. I will come back.
After I come to Beijing, I will ask for your merits in front of the emperor."
The God of Money was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale, and he immediately said: "Your Highness must not do it. It is the honor of the common people to relieve His Highness's worries, and they will never dare to take credit. Otherwise, the common people will be frightened, fearing that they will
I have trouble sleeping all night..."
If all the corrupt officials knew that he had created this thing, they would really not be able to sleep peacefully in the future.
Qian Caishen said with a sincere face: "All of this is the result of His Highness. I can do something for His Highness silently behind the scenes. The common people are already very satisfied."
The eldest prince Zhao Zheng looked at him, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You are a smart man who understands current affairs."
I thought it would take more words to convince him to switch to him, but I didn't expect that this God of Money was so sensible, which made Zhao Zheng feel very relieved.
"I have been ordered to supervise various state capitals. It is time-consuming and laborious to check the accounts. However, you have helped me a lot this time. Don't worry, I will not treat anyone who has meritorious service. As long as you do your best for me.
, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future..."
The God of Money looked frightened and bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhao Zheng nodded, handed him the piece of paper, and said, "Go and explain to them in detail how to use this method..."
"As ordered..." Qian Caishen nodded, picked up the piece of paper, and walked over.
At the entrance of Prince Feng's Mansion, Yang Yanzhou and Zhao Xiuwen walked out.
When walking down the steps, Zhao Xiuwen suddenly turned around and asked: "Yanzhou, do you think there will be any mistakes in the God of Money?"
Yang Yanzhou shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate that old fox..." 8)
